gym membership horror stories

There are also cases where the gym facilities are not as promised. I knew someone who joined a gym that advertised a large pool and state - of - the - art equipment. But when they actually went there, the pool was always dirty and half of the equipment was broken. And the gym didn't seem to care about fixing it or cleaning the pool.

Sure. A common horror story is being pressured into buying personal training sessions that you don't really need or want. The trainers at some gyms are so pushy. They keep on telling you that you won't achieve your fitness goals without their expensive sessions.

I once got a gym membership as a birthday gift from my well - meaning but clueless friend. I'm the laziest person when it comes to exercise. When I went to the gym for the first time, I got so confused by all the machines. I accidentally set the treadmill to the highest speed and ended up flying off it. Everyone stared at me while I was lying on the floor, all red - faced. It was so embarrassing but also really funny in hindsight.

On my birthday, I received a gym membership. I went to the gym all excited. I entered the changing room and couldn't figure out how to use the locker. I tried pulling and pushing every part of it. After what felt like ages, I realized I was trying to open someone else's locker. The owner of the locker showed up and looked at me like I was crazy. I quickly apologized and ran off to find my own locker, feeling really stupid.

There was a man who got a gym membership because his doctor told him he needed to exercise more. He went to the gym all excited on the first day. He saw a row of bikes and just hopped on one without realizing it was a spin bike set for an advanced class that was about to start. When the class started, he was completely out of his depth, pedaling furiously and looking so confused. The instructor had to stop the class for a moment to help him adjust the settings. It was hilarious.

One 'gym horror story' could be someone dropping really heavy weights without warning right next to you. It's super dangerous and can startle you. Another might be finding used and sweaty towels left on the equipment. It's just gross and unhygienic.

One of the disturbing true gym horror stories might be about a person who found a cockroach in their water bottle at the gym. It's not only disgusting but also makes you question the hygiene of the place. Another story could be that a girl was stalked in the parking lot of the gym by a strange man. She felt really scared and unsafe. And for the third story, there was an instance where the gym's music system suddenly started playing really loud and screeching noises during a workout session, which was so unexpected and disturbing that it completely threw people off their exercise routine.

A really funny situation can be when someone tries to use a piece of equipment they've never seen before. I remember a girl who thought a rowing machine was some kind of weird massage chair. She sat on it all wrong and started pulling the handle in the wrong direction. It made a really strange noise, and she was so startled. Also, the mix - ups in the sauna or steam room can be funny. People sometimes accidentally walk in on others in a state of undress because they didn't check properly.

Seeing a snake there.

Blood on the bench.
